Game strategy, offense situation. The Double Steal! Runners on 1st-2nd no outs.
Game Strategy, offense, The Double Steal
Game Situation - 14 under Girls Softball Team
A. Your the Away Team
B. Top of 7 inning.
C. Score 3-3 Tie Ball Game, No Outs!
D. Runners on 1st and 2nd Base
E. At the plate, number #6 batter. She's hit the ball twice in this game, right to short stop who made the routine outs.
F. Your Next batter in the #7 spot is very weak at the plate.
G. Your #8 batter hits allot of pop-ups
~ Offense options ~
1.) The Double Steal, have your 1st base and 2nd base runners steal at the same time.
2.) Double Steal Fake, try to get your 1st Base Runner to draw the throw. Maybe the lead runner can find a way to score.
3.) Play Ball, Hope my #6 batter doesn't hit into a double play.
I'm thinking in this Situation, I'm going to be very lucky to score any runs. I'm very much in Jeopardy of a possible double play on a hit from my number #6 batter. Even if I fade the double play here, I'm most likely going to take another out. I still have two weak batters coming up to bat. I feel unless I put some real pressure on the defense, I'm very much looking at best case scenario of going into International Tie Breaker. And if we do this, I'm going to struggle to get back to the tops of my batting order with less then one out.
Coaches what your Offense options?
